Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Ten Review

Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Ten Review

To put it simply, episode ten of Banished from the Hero’s Party was a whole lot of nothing. From a pure entertainment standpoint, if we look at this objectively, episode ten just isn’t it. You know that feeling when something is just meh. There have been too many of those moments for this anime, and…

Banished from the Hero’s Party | E8 and E9: A little too late.

Banished from the Hero’s Party | E8 and E9: A little too late.

I think that Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita has started to get interesting at the wrong time. Which why I labelled today’s blog as “a little too late”. For me, the biggest issue I have with Banished from the Hero’s…

Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Seven: Downhill from here.

Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Seven: Downhill from here.

Episode seven was just very disappointing. There wasn’t a point during the episode where I felt entertained or thought whatever the characters were talking about was remotely interesting. Episode seven was a mess because many things happened, however, none of it felt connected at all. It seemed as though everything in the episode happened for…

Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode Six Review

It seems as though Red’s past is slowly starting to catch up to him. It may only just be me but it feels as though with every passing episode, we see more about Red’s past and its characters. It seems as though the calm life that Red and Rit were looking to live is starting…

Banished from the Hero’s Party | E4 and E5: It feels like something is missing.

Banished from the Hero’s Party | E4 and E5: It feels like something is missing.

The more I watch Banished from the Hero’s Party, the less enthusiastic I become. Maybe it’s the premise of anime, but something about it isn’t really clicking with me anymore. Watching two characters live their lives normally in a fantasy world, just isn’t really doing it for me. What stuck out like a sore thumb…

Banished from the Hero’s Party | E3: A whole lot of nothin’.

Banished from the Hero’s Party | E3: A whole lot of nothin’.

Okay, so I will admit. I did go skim through the manga, so I know what is to come for the series. However, I won’t be spoiling anything, so you don’t need to worry. Now that I’ve gotten my admission out of the way, it’s that time of day where I share my thoughts on…

Banished from the Hero’s Party | E2: Enter Player Two.

Banished from the Hero’s Party | E2: Enter Player Two.

A yes, enter player two. Depending on your outlook on life, you either found episode two entertaining or not. On that spectrum, I am on the side of “Not” and here is why. Fundamentally, episode two is nothing more than another introductory episode. Where we’re introduced to player number two, Rit. As is with all…

Banished from the Hero’s Party | Episode One Review

Something I will appreciate from the first episode of Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita otherwise known as “Banished from the Hero’s Party” from this day forward was that it played its OP from the start, something you don’t usually get…
